Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant rule of logarithms is ...

log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b)

This lets us combine the logs on the left to get ...

log((6 +7x)/(3x -2)) = log(5)

Taking anti-logs gives ...

(6 +7x)/(3x -2) = 5

6 +7x = 5(3x -2) . . . . . multiply by (3x -2)

7x +6 = 15x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

8x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . add 10-7x to both sides

x = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

The solution is x = 2.

Jim is showing his work in simplifying (−8.5 + 6.1) − 1.3.

Answer:

In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad

leva [86]

The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.

Which of the following is a solution to 2cos x + 1 = 0? 60° 120° 210° 300°

klasskru [66]

Rewrite <span>2cos x + 1 = 0 as:

2 cos x = -1, and then cos x = -1/2

x must be in Quadrant II or Quadrant III, since the adj. side is negative.

Note that the angle 120 has adj. side -1 and hyp 2. So 120 degrees is one solution.

Now what about a possible 2nd solution, to be found in Quadrant III? That would be -120 degrees, which has the same terminal line as does 240 degrees.

No soap.

So, the solution is 120 degrees.</span>

A store manager is marking down chess boards from $25 to $14. What percentage is the discount?

Alborosie

Remember: when calculating percent it will always be over 100. With the given numbers 14 is your part out of the total (25). It should be written as part/whole.

As previously said, the percent is always over 100. (x/100)

In this problem you are given the part (14) and the whole (25). So it would be 14/25. The percent in this problem would be x/100. Now to find percent with the given part/whole, you would multiply 14 with 100. Then simply divide by 25.
